I live at Sweetbay and I love my Samuel Taylor home. I did my research before picking builders and they did not disappoint The quality is excellent- and the customer service I have received has been number one. I knew my builder was good, but I especially wanted to give a shout out to the guys that work for Samuel Taylor at Sweetbay. Every concern or question I had was prompt and taken care of. They made me feel like family Thank you Chris and Steve especially Do not hesitate to work with this business. *Just an update- we did have some issues with our backyard and water draining, Chris and Steve - who oversee the builds in Sweetbay made sure it was corrected - they go ABOVE ABD BEYOND I should have mentioned in the initial review that we had an independent inspection done before we closed and our inspector told us your house is a great build. If we ever moved, I would follow this builder. I honestly feel so fortunate to have used Samuel Taylor. Not only are they innovative with their builds. They have went ABOVE AND BEYOND for my family We cannot thank you enough. read more

Thank you David P for your review. I've looked at the homes by Samuel Taylor in Sweetwater Bay, Panama city, FL and they are really nice. In fact I tried to get them to build me a house on my lot here in Panama city beach, FL. They said they only build in their communities. Another contractor that builds nice homes is Toll Brothers and they have great designs also. I am looking for a Spanish/Mediterranean home with lots of light, high ceilings, cool breezes and courtyard. Unfortunately Toll brothers do not build in Panama city beach, FL (nor the areas of the Panhandle of FL). Too bad, they could get a lot of business if they did. read more

If you buy a house from them, they will never fix the big mistakes found. We found multiple errors the day before the closing date. The builder manager promised that will be fixed ASAP. Still waiting for them to fix the mayor problems. Once they get the money on the closing date, they forget about you. I would not recommend to buy a house from them. read more

Lots of minor problems when moving in, most of which were repaired after multiple requests. Make sure you tell them not to supply the appliances, such as stove, dishwasher, microwave, as they use the cheapest they can get. Same with the AC, they use the bottom seer units. Anything installed beyond the bottom line (light fixtures, switches, etc) are also low cost, which is probably common with contractors. They advertise as coming with an alarm system and sprinkler system, which they do not leave manuals for. Then, surprisingly, you began getting bombarded with offers from an alarm company to provide service. You can spend time online looking up how to operate the systems, but it just seems like the wrong way to get lower costs at the expense of the customer. The finished home was not as nicely designed as the David Weekley homes shown as models, but I don't know if their quality was any better. read more
